LETTER FROM CHESTER.

| will take time to write you letter
from this land of shad Some ten or
fifteen years ago fishing for shad was
about all Chester was noted for.
From the time Of the landing of Penn
up to fifteen years ago, Chester grew
very slowly; we have many buildings
that were built away back in 1900,
long before they commenced making
brick in this country, for the brick
we're brought over from England.
Among the buildings is our city hall /;
although over two hundred years old
it is a very creditabe Town Hall at
this time. The era of Chester's pros
perity is in a measure due to John
Roach, who instituted the ship. build.
ing industry here, aud had one Of the
largest ship yards in America, build,
ing more ships than all the rest of the
ship builders in the United States put
together. He had employed at one
time 2300 men, and gave Chester a
name not only of National but World
wide Importance. Is it any wonder
that people Of means who wanted to
invest money selected this as the place
to locate, when people from all over the
world came on business connected with
Roach Not alone private individuals,
but the congressman and Presidents of
the United States, aud many foreign
heads Of Governments we're among its
visitors. 1t appeared that the ham
mer of the riveters at the ship.yard
startled the sleepy old town, which
had exceeded Rip Van Winkle, and
been asleep for one hundred and fifty
years. On getting awake the town
commenced to drive ahead as though
it was going to catch up to some of
the places that had forged ahead while
it was asleep. Cotton mills, wooden
mills, rolling and shOddy mills, edge
tool and print works, machine shops,
foundries, and in fact it would be hard
to name any kind of work that is not
here. Some of the industries are noted
in all parts of this country, and some
have earned a foreign reputation
among these are Robert Wetherill &
Co., builders of Corliss engines and
pumping machinery. 1t is a common
thing for this firm to put a new engine
in the place Of an old one and take as
pay the money saved in fuel for the
FIRST ten years. Then the Eddystone
Print Works are known wherever
women wear dresses and want the best
in the market. So Chester Of to-day
is one Of the busiest of the thriving
manufacturing towns 10 this country.

Memorial Day Exerci ses.

Memorial Day, May 90th, was a
busy one for the G. A. r. boys of this
place. Capt. George Stow Post had
taken upon themselves to visit the
cemeteries and burying places at East
Hickory, Whig Hill, the two places
on German Hill, and Tionesta, and
had in connection Herewith, appointed
details to decorate the graves on
Church Hill and Minister. II was
thought by some they could not ac-
complish all they had undertaken, but
they showed the people that they had
not yet lost all their youthful energy.
The Sabbath Schools and citizens turn
ed out at the different cemeteries and
encouraged them in their work, bid.
ding them God speed at every point.
The Army boys think they could not
have been better treated than they
we're, and if possible would enjoy a
trip of that kind every year, but are
aware they are wearing out and it
will not be long till their graves are
among those to be decorated. Their
first meeting place was in East Hick.
nry; from there they proceeded to
Wing Hill, taking dinner with George
S. Hindman, which they appeared to
relish very much, thinking if that was
the way be lived, it was not much
wonder he is in good condition. From
Wing Hill they returned to Tionesta,
arriving here about 5 o'clock, visiting
the two cemeteries on German Hill on
their route.
The ceremonies were pretty nearly
the same at each place. Commander
d. S. Knox had charge of the exer.
cises. Adjutant Morrow read the Ma.
tional Order and called the roll.
Chaplain Rhodes led in prayer. The
officers Of the Post made the usual
address at the graves, and Chaplain
Rhodes and Comrade Irrrin were the
orators. The Sabbath Schools that
met with them assisted, each singing a
piece, and furnishing abundance Of
flowers for the occasion. The Tionesta
choir sang two beautiful pieces, "How
Sleep the Brave" and "Cheers and
Tears" The Post Martial Band,
known as the Albaugh Band, rendered
good service, joining the procession at
Hickory, and continuing with it dur
ing the day. They were assisted in
Tionesta by the Tionesta Cornet Band,
The following graves were decorated :

ing the earth, small profit was always re-
allied fIom a field that would otherwise
have remained fallow aud worse than
useless. With the growth ofagriculture in
the East, the greater part OF the land was
taken up and put in a tillable state, thus
dispensing with such crops as buckwheat,
which was considered to be valuable only
when grown on new land, where other
crops would not flourish.
- Grad ually buckWheat was grown less and
less by the Eastern farmers, and the idea
crept IN among even the more intelligent
land SOwners that this crop was fit to be
grown only by the lazy farmers, who did
not wish to exert themselves more than
necessary in cultivauDg their fields. The
crop was brought into further contempt By
the charge that it injured stock, both
through the straw and the gram, and, on
the whole, it was not profitable invest
ment. This latter charge has been found
to be true only so far as when the grain
was fed almost exclusively to the animals
and not when mixed up with other fodder
The grain is an exceed dinghy nutritious food
for both mankind and animals, and, as il
is highly heterogeneous, it is therefore vel
fitted for mixing with corn TO be chopped
up for food for horses. The fact that i
is lazy mans crop should not detel
others from raising il.

Paris Green for the CurcuIlo

In discussing means for preserving plums
from destruction By the curculio, Mr..
BealI, of Lindsay, Ont, said at a recent
meeting of the Fruit Growers Association
Of Ontario:
six years ego l began oerimenting
with paris green. had two red plum trees
standing near together that / cared very
little about. Thew bore large quantities of
rcd plums every year, but the fruit was so
badly IL jured by the curculio that it was
worth almost nothing. l applied paris
green to one and not to the
other. The foliage was not injured,
but on the tree TO which / applied the
paris green had a good crop of plums,
while on the other tree the fruit was as
badly injured as in any other year. The
next year reversed the order, and applied
the robson to the other tree. The conse-
quence was had reversed order of fruit
ing. There was a crop on the one | had
sprayed, but not on the other one. Oar
vice-president, Mr.. Med. Allen, in an or.
chsTd OF thousand trees, selected four to
which be applied no paris green, applying
it to all the rest. He took every care that
none of the sprayed liquid fell on the %
trees, and he bad plentiful crop on a.i
but those four. He tried four others the
next year, with the same result" Mr..
Peall adds that he applied the poison just
after the petals had done falling.

"A Rose Hedge.
lViek,s Maeazlne. for juno. ]


While talking about roses, want to tell
you about my rose hedge We have had
several ciumps of white and yellow Scotch
roses for some years, and two years ago 1t
became necessary 10 remove them. On
taking them up we found that great
many plants could be made by dividing
the roots, and, as the place where we in-
tended to set out e few OF them was be-
tween the flower and the vegetable gardens
where sort of hedge would be useful in
hiding the beets and cabbages from the
street-not because they were beets and
cabbsges. mind you. for we never are
ashamed of having such useful things
seen, but because they do not harmonic
with fiowers-the IDEA occurred to as to set
the rose plants IN a row, the white aud yell
low alternating, and We did so. The result
this year was very satisfactory. The bushes
have grown until they form a rounded,
compact hedge. about two feet high and
the same in width, their branches reaching
tt the ground, as is Characteristic of this
class, and all through the season OF sum-
mer roses they were covered with flowers,
which, If not very large or double, were
very fragrant, and seemed better adapted
to the use We put them than larger ones
would have been. We were greatly pleased
with our rose hedge.

Improving Pastures.
American Dairrman-l


The pastursge of many pieces OF wood
land might easily be trebled by allowing
the natural bluegrass to mature seed one
summer" This is taken from the columns
of the American Agriculturist, and is
probably the worst advice that could be
given on the subject. Every farmer knows
that while the grasses propagate themselves
by seeds they also multiply and increase
by sending NJ new shoots from their roots,
and while a thin growth Of grass can be
secured from seed-sowiDg, yet, il the pas
ture should be neglected a whole season
where the grass is thin, the weeds that
would be sure to come in would do far
more harm than the new seed would do
good. The way to secure good close sod
is by pasturing close after the soil
is made rich. The closest and best sods
are to be found on the commons around
cities where troops of animals are gnawing
them all day long. Their hoofs tramp the
ground about the roots of Il grass down
solid, and by close cropping the plant is
tempted or forced to send up fresh shsots.
This kind of pasturiDg is, of course, not to
be recommended, for it is lead to the ami
NAL that bias TO do the close cropping, but
it makes the best kind OF sod or the most
perfect pasture. Such q sod can never bs
grown In the shade, as our contemporary
suggests, and the little aid that q fresh sup.

During the Irish dairy conference, says
London paper, attention was directed By
Professor Long to the neglect of skim-milk
as an article of die. This was easily intelli-
gible in the pre-separatiOn days, when
milk had necessarily to stand for many
hours before Swimming, so that the skim
milk left the dairy on the verge Of sour
ness. If not actually sour. The pigs were
then almost the only possible recipients of
this by-pToduct, at all events during the
warm weather. But new the mechanical
cream separator allows of the production
of perfectly sweet skim-milk within almost
few minutes of milking, in a condition
IN every way 1t for human consumption.
AND Professor Long urges that steps should
be taken to create public demand for the
article, which he considers only requires
TO be made widely known to become popu-
lar. He suggests that it might be used not
only for drinking purposes, but also to a
large extent for fancy bread making, for
which purpose there is already soms de-
mand. The I. eoretical value gallon Of
skim milk, as compared with the equiva-
lent quantities of sugar, butter and beef
necessary to supply light degree OF neu-
triment, should be about / shilling
the actual price being only from
3 sbillings TO pence. There is here large
margin TO SET against difference in con-
cent alton. Proft ssor Long suggests an-
OtItI Use 4Ol sklll-LullA. WHICH, AZ lar as
we have heard, has not yet been ascertaIned
to have come into fashion in this country,
though il is said to be largely practiced
across the Atlantic-vis., the Incorporation
with il OF e due quantity Of oil or fat, aud
the conversion Of the said mixture into
cheese. Professor Long, to do him justice,
says that he should only regard this mode
of use as legitimate, provided that the arti-
fetal cheese were sold under a name that
would clearly identify it. Il is hardly to be
anticipated, however, hat farmers who make
cheese will care to raise up for themselves
new rival in the market, and If artificial
cheese is TO become a. article of English
manufacture il will be more likely to be
made in the factory than on the farm, and
on the whole this seems a less desirable
outlet for skim-milk than would be az
forded by the enlargement of its consump.
ticn as such. One thing, however is GER
tain-viz +, that the separator in the various
efficient shapes in which il is now made
for steam, horse, and even hand power, is
destined to come more and more into use,
so tDat the supply of sweet, fresh skim
milk will rapidly increase, and it would
seem rational that il should realize some
more remunerative price than that OF its
old value as pigs food.

Blow to Raise Calves.

Every branch of farming, writes an Iowa
correspondent of the Dairy World, seems
to be department of itself, hence the ne
cssSity of adiversity Of information and ex-
perience required at the hands of the mod
eTn sgficuIturist In raising calves the
more experience have the more am con.
WINGED that what is worth doing at all is
worth doing we'll" The greatest difficulty
with young cattle is the periods of transit
ton from one stage of development TO an
other, from milk to grass, from grass TO
dry feed, from winter feed back to grass
again. To avoid trouble in these periods
those changes should not be suddenly
made. Calves natures are very delicate In
this respect, as a change to milk, that Is
too rich, or too much milk causes scours
and change from dry feed to rich grass
produces blackleg. 1t is no use to argue
the point as to the best method of raising
calves-by hand feeding or letting them
suck an intelligent experience uniformity
favoIs the former practice. For the first,
say, ten days, they should have the natural
milk, direct from the mother,
then a little warm skim milk may
| be added for about the next ten
in due time the milk may not be warmed
so much. AS the new milk is changed to
| skim, little Cruel, made by soaking oat-
meal in warm water, may be added, 70
supply the place Of the cream which goes
to the churn. But great care should be ex-
eroised that all these changes shall be made
very gradually. AS the calf approaches the
| age Of five or six months and learns to eat
| gross, hay, or chopped food, il will still
add 10 Its thrift to keep on feeding milk 10
connection with the other substances. We
are now feeding large quantities OF butter
milk mixed with Oish-water, shorts, or oil
meal, 10 calves six months old, ana some
of them, though three quarters Jerseys, are
fat enough for !he butcher, and have made
en- increase in growth of one-third during
| the past winter. Singularly enough when
| these calves have been taught to take thi!
kind of slop they will refuse to drink warm
or sweet milk. l find not the least diff
Guilty in getting q cali to grow and thriv'
| just as well in winter as in summer; in
fact, this growth seems to be the mos
healthy, and argues well for winter dairy
